With the new year a tonne of folks set out new routines, create resolutions, and take a chance on a fresh, new start. Some focus on finances while others work on wellness. Others try and kick naughty habits. This new year, are you attempting a new you?

Be patient, fashion friends. Winter will leave eventually. In the meantime, take advantage of this gnarly, white weather frat-boy-like-snow-puke and use your time in your home wisely. Yup, it’s time to clean as if it were spring. Kanye knows what's up.

Yes, it’s that time of year when many people in my life ask for free advice on fashion and style. #EntrepreneurProblems. The question I frequently get asked when the seasons change – or in Calgary’s case, just the dates on the calendar – is what to purchase for spring to keep on trend. Cue the tweeting birds, luscious foliage, and the buzzing bees. Or sloppy snow storm.

There’s nothing quite like spring time to inspire a tidy up and refresh of your closet. Spring cleaning is one of the most wonderful times of the year for me. The days are getting longer, the buds are starting to get their bud on, and people are out working on their yards. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh. I can hear birds a-tweet-tweeting right now.
